The NX 200t has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 235 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is available. This four-cylinder turbo feels well-matched to the NX. It operates quietly and delivers confident acceleration around town, and there’s ample power for climbing hills and passing other vehicles on the highway. The six-speed automatic is a smooth operator as well, thanks to its slick and well-timed gear changes. The NX rewards drivers with engaging road manners, but this SUV remains comfortable too. It’s stable around turns, with responsive steering and strong brakes. The suspension does a fine job of soaking up bumps and dips in the road as well. The NX 200t F Sport variant delivers slightly sharper handling, courtesy of its stiffer springs and larger wheels.
